Leukocytes Flashcards
Dynamic forces that move cells into and out of body compartments
Leukocyte kinetics
MATCH:
A. Active
B. Passive
- Antibody
- Antigen
Active –> Antigen
Passive –> Antibody
Example of innate and adaptive immunity
Innate: phagocytes
Adaptive: lymphocytes
Enumerate parameters of maturation characteristics
(CNCNCN)
Cell size
Nucleoli
Chromatin
Nucleus
Cytoplasm
N:C Ratio
Enumerate the laboratory tests for leukocyte identification
WBC Count
WBC Differential Count
*Schilling’s Index
*Arneth Count
Immunophenotyping
Cytochemical Stains
Where does neutrophil development occur?
Bone marrow
Major cytokine responsible for stimulation of neutrophil development
Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor (G-CSF)
This is used for the differentiation and production of cells
Cytokines
Enumerate the three pools in the bone marrow and define
- Stem Cell Pool
*presence of HSCs - Proliferation Pool
*mitotic pool; actively dividing precursors
–> Examples: (cfuGEMM,GMPM)
*CFU Granulocytes, Erythrocytes, Monocytes, Megakaryocytes; GMP, Myeloblasts, Promyelocyte, Myelocyte
- Maturation Pool
*storage pool
–> Examples: (MBS)
–>Metamyelocytes, Band neutrophils, Segmented neutrophils
Which cells are in the circulation?
Metamyelocyte
Band form
Mature granulocyte
Order of granulopoiesis
- Heamocytoblast
- Myeloid stem cell
- Myeloblast
- Promyelocyte
- Myelocyte
- Metamyelocyte
- Band form
- Granulocyte
Since HSCs, GMPs, and CMPs are indistinguishable under light microscope and Romanowsky stain, how do you identify them?
Surface antigen detection using flow cytometry
Three body compartments
Bone marrow
Peripheral Blood
Tissue
Transit time from HSC to myeloblast
not measured
transit time from myeloblast to myelocyte
6 days
transit time to maturation pool
4-6 days
differentiate CNP and MNP
Circulating neutrophil pool: freely floating
Marginal neutrophil pool: adheres to blood vessel wall; stays for 7 hours in blood
steps in extravasation and define
(RACT! raaak)
1. Rolling: presence of selectin makes it roll
2. Adhesion: strong binding stops rolling
3. Crawling: look for ICAM
4. Transmigration: macrophage 1 antigen binds to ICAM; paracellular or transcellular
passage of blood from capillaries to site of inflammation
diapedesis
this is a stimulant
chemotactic agent

granules
enumerate the primary granules of neutrophils
(MELCDiP / MILK DiP)

(PIOONS)
1. Phagocyte (non-specific)
*recognition and attachment
2. Ingestion
*pseudopodia formation
3. Oxygen dependent killing
*respiratory burst
*produce H2O2 (primary ROS) and hydrochloride (secondary ROS)
4. Oxygen independent killing
5. Neutrophil extracellular traps
*trap gram (+) and (-)
6. Secretory functions
how to differentiate promyelocyte from neutrophil promyelocyte?
charcot leyden crystals
makes up 1-3% of nucleated cells in the bone marrow and blood
eosinophil
transit time from last myelocytic division to mature eosinophil
3.5 days
half life of eosinophils
18 hours in the circulation
how long is the survival of eosinophils in tissues
2-5 days
